The locals will tell you there are plenty of stories surrounding this property which began its life as the communal shed on the Hillwood Jetty for the storage of fruit destined for England. In the 1950s the shed was moved to its current location and converted into an apple cool store for Leam Farm, and in the 1980s it was turned into a home.
Situated directly across the road from the river, with virtually zero possibility of being built out, the home offers stunning water views from practically every window. The extra wide verandah wraps round three sides of the home and provides a wonderful place to watch the boats go by.
The open plan living area is exceptionally spacious with an amazing cathedral ceiling featuring the original timber beams. The kitchen is also generous in size and overlooks the living space to the water. There is excellent heating throughout the home with the choice to use either the large wood heater or the reverse cycle air conditioners.
There are three large bedrooms, the master with a walk in robe, ensuite and study or sitting area, that open from a second living room or study area.
The land slopes gently from the top of the block which has been planted out with hazelnut trees for truffles down to the river. There is an older style two storey shed which could make a granny flat or artist studio (STCA) plus there is a newer shed built in 2009 (with two roller doors and considerable workshop space) which is fully insulated and lined. This space has been used for the production of cider and also has a hard standing area in front of the shed of approx 70m2.
A really lovely lifestyle property, perfect for a tree change. Please feel free to contact Lauren for more details.
